• Location / Detroit, MI, USA
• Venue / Joe Louis Arena

The first show by the band in this city since August 1983 on the Pyromania tour.

The third time at this venue.

The venue was located in the city centre.

It was opened in December 1979.

It was closed in July 2017 and then demolished in 2019/2020.

Whitesnake attended this show on a day off from their own tour according to later Vivian Campbell interviews.
